Mu You wondered what kind of high-quality fairy this was, leaving behind dust that was treasured whenever she walked.
He looked at the inventory on the panel: Lucky Dust 5/5.
It could be used five times, not bad at all.
He just wasn’t sure how much trigger rate it could enhance.
But he knew better not to misuse this treasure.
If ignited on a completely desolate path, even if it increased luck by 1000%, it wouldn’t trigger anything.
This was better used when he knew there were hidden treasures nearby, but couldn’t find them.
That’s when it would work best.
Packing up the dust, Mu You continued on his journey.
[Ahead there are no more obstacles, you have entered the Black Forest.]
[Just as you set foot in the Black Forest, you suddenly realize the trees around you started to move, constantly changing positions.]
[In the blink of an eye, the clear path in front of you completely disappeared.
You found yourself in the middle of the forest, unable to determine the directions.]
[You are lost!]
“What the…?”
With a bewildered look on his face, Mu You questioned what was going on.
He had just entered and hadn’t even taken two steps yet, and he was already lost.
This wasn’t a forest.
It was a moving maze!
The problem now arose: The witch instructed him to head north.
But now, which way was north?
Screw north, he could not even find his way back.
With no other option, Mu You had to wander aimlessly through the forest, gripping his pocket watch tightly, ready to rewind time at any moment of emergency.
After aimlessly wandering for about four to five minutes, a new prompt finally popped up.
[Wandering aimlessly in the Black Forest, you suddenly see a crow flying towards a branch in the distance.
It then begins to speak to you: “Another Trialist, you are the 13,600th person to take part in the Secret Technique Association admission trial.
Remember your number 13600.”]
Mu You thought to himself – is there some mistake?
He finally encountered a talking crow, and all it spoke about was some trial and gave him a number…
He came to learn from the witch, not to join some ‘secret technique’ association.
[You express your confusion and tell the crow your intention.]
[The crow tells you it’s all the same.
If you want to see the Calamity Witch, you must also pass the test and become a member of the Secret Technique Association.]
“Fine.”
With that being said, Mu You had nothing to say.
He would participate then.
[The crow takes off and flies in one direction.
You follow the crow and quickly arrive in front of a stone altar in the middle of the forest.]
[The area around the altar is covered with daunting bones, densely packed, with at least several thousand.
It looked like a graveyard.
On the altar, there were two identical red spring waters.
One was the Life Spring Water with the essence of life and drinking it would add 10 years to your lifespan.
The other one was the Death Spring Water, an extremely toxic potion that would reduce 100% of one’s life upon consumption.]
[The crow tells you that to become a member of the Secret Technique Association, you need extraordinary luck.
This is the first trial.
Choose a bottle from the two potions and drink it.
You have a 50% chance of death, and there is no chance of reviving.
The frightening bones around are those who drank the death potion.]
“Oh, boy!
Reducing 100% of the lifespan…”
Mu You was stunned.
Was there really such a potion that directly blocked any chance of resurrection?
It was way more powerful than the witch’s poison.
About that witch, she was ruthless indeed.
More than ten thousand applicants, at least half were poisoned right away.
This was just the first trial, surrounding bones were about to pile up like a mountain, and he didn’t even know what would come next.
Now Mu You somewhat believed the words of the elf fairy.
No wonder she was called the Calamity Witch.
With her behavior and conduct, she definitely couldn’t belong to the good and orderly camp.
“Cola, have you heard of Antheny Vivian?”
Without rushing to choose, Mu You first asked Cola about the background of this witch.
“Antheny Vivian…”
Cola immersed in the world of animation unknowingly chanted it once, and quickly shook its head: “No meow.”
“No?
What about the Calamity Witch?”
“Meow?”
Cola instantly turned its head back: “Calamity Witch?”
“You know her?” Mu You noticed its reaction and was certain it knew something.
“Of course, meow.
The Calamity Witch is one of the most dangerous criminals in the History of the Wizard Association.
Since she became a Dark Wizard hundreds of years ago, she has committed countless atrocities.
It is said that wherever she goes, all the people are cursed with calamities everywhere.
It is even said that a country was destroyed because of her.
That’s why she got the title ‘Calamity Witch’.
She is like a walking source of calamity, meow.” Cola explained enthusiastically.
“Really?”
Mu You listened with a perturbed face.
A walking calamity?
Wasn’t that too exaggerated?
As for the Wizard Association, he thought it was okay to take their words with a grain of salt.
The situation certainly couldn’t be that bad.
Of course, he couldn’t say it was entirely false.
The witch most likely had done some shocking acts and possessed unthinkable power, which scared the Wizard Association.
“What about the Secret Technique Association?” Mu You asked again.
“The Secret Technique Association is a group led by the Calamity Witch, along with eleven other notoriously infamous dark wizards.
It’s a Black Magic organization that specializes in studying Black Magic, meow.
To give you an example, it’s like the ‘Akatsuki’ organization in Naruto.”
“I see.”
Mu You nodded, finding the example pretty straightforward.
So the witch he was looking for was not just an ordinary witch but the big boss behind a villainous group!
…Very well!
This suits the Fool’s stand!
Anyway, since he has come this far, there’s no turning back now.
Moreover, this is a trial where he can fully utilize his unique abilities.
[You step forward and pick up the spring water on the left, gulping it down.]
[The moment the water goes down your throat, you suddenly feel all the cells in your body collapsing.
You slump down to the ground, bleeding from every orifice, and seemed to faintly hear someone whispering in your ear: Dark wizards are those who steal power from nature.
They must always remain humble and cautious, and never pursue power beyond their control, lest they lose control…]
[The death potion poisoned you, reducing lifespan by 100%, remaining lifespan: 0 years…]
“Rewind!”
The moment he saw the ‘death potion’ displayed, Mu You immediately pressed his pocket watch, shook to the core.
This death potion was a real lethal weapon.
His lifetime of over sixty years got wiped out in one go…
Luckily, when the game lifespan hit zero, he didn’t die instantly.
He wasn’t sure whether there was a delay or something else.
In any case, now with the time rewind, he returned to the previous choice.
Naturally, without hesitation, he chose the spring water on the right.
[You drank the spring water on the right.
This is the Life Spring Water, immense life force courses through your body.
Life expectancy +10 years, remaining life span 73 years.]
The spring water on the right was indeed the Life Spring Water.
This first trial really was about pure luck, with a 50% chance of success.
But what made Mu You curious was the notification after drinking the death potion.
What did it mean?
Mu You initially thought that there would be similar transition words after drinking the correct water, but to his surprise, after drinking the correct water, nothing popped up.
So there would only be a notification after drinking the death potion?
What was the meaning of this?
